RADIO NOTES
Recorded at Kings Place, during the EFG London Jazz Festival, a concert by Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava, his countryman the virtuoso pianist Giovanni Guidi and, in their first ever UK collaboration, electronics wizard Matthew Herbert.

NOTES
Recorded live off air from the original BBC Radio Three broadcast during Jazz Now on 21st November 2016. Source was the BBC HLS 323kbps 48kHz internet stream.

Audition was used to remove the announcer, move interview to start of show, lower audience by 6dB at start and 3db at end, boost overall levels by 8bB, track and convert to 44.1kHz. FLAC tags done using mp3tag and fingerprints generated using TLH.

Sepe's ordinary cohorts helped by two international jazzstars, this is not strictly a zappa's tribute, as the title could have suggested, but it's more of a tribute to that era of seventies jazzrock like it could have been played by zappa's group circa 1974 [with George Duke and Napoleon Murphy Brock, but imagine here without Ruth Underwood], or Weather Report circa 1974 featuring an imaginary electric guitarist. Thus, it is beautiful music... Setlist was not announced, so that I am missing a few titles: track06 is a known zappa's tune (maybe Uncle Meat ??) then going to a brief King Kong's theme that transforms itself in an african tune by Bowman, track12 is something from Weather Report or Miles Davis, others could be Sepe's own tunes, somewhere there sholud also be some theme by Nino Rota... Also included in this folder as track00 a radio introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 4'23", you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.

Topics include club owners, music critics, Downbeat editorial policies, free jazz and audiences, working class relation to music, social revolution and race, and free jazz and it's relation to the space age.

A real rarity and sure to be a treat for anyone interested in 20th-century jazz and social issues. Please keep those windows open and seed, seed, seed! If you like to see these more rare gems show up amongst the Springsteen and Dylan, write some feedback below and show your solidarity!

brunod is founder of italian grioup Entel Eller, and recorded a few albums with Claudio Lodati. Some of these tracks are from a duets album by Brunod where Vitous also played. Also included in the folder as track 00 a radio introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 3'34", you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.

a swedish ensemble lead by saxophonist Martin Küchen (previously in Trespass Trio) often compared to Liberation Music Orchestra (also for the political themes), Brotherhood of Breath, some Mingus flirting with some Zappa... powerful tunes. These tracks should all be from Clean Feed album "Injuries" - Also included in the folder as track 00 a radio introduction in ITALIAN with bio notes and commentaries - this intro runs for 5'53", you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian.

The song titles are announced in tracks 5 and 6, but I don't understand the German well enough to be sure I have them correct, especially because I believe tracks 3 and 4 contain multiple songs. Any help along these lines would be appreciated.
